Class Work

Getting started: Share your "art" selections. We will count off in threes. 1 & 2 will visit 3. then 2 and 3 will visit 1. Finally 1 and 3 will visit 2.

1. Find a partner . . . listen for the "how."  (Find someone who shares your quarter of the calendar.
January/February/March
April/May/June
July/August/September
October/November/December

You will be shariing your comparison/contrast charts. Be sure you have labeled if you used the point by point or item vs. item. 

Look for:
A. A fictional hero and a real person hero.
B.The type of chart that was created
C. Comparisons
D. Contrasts

From the chart, can you tell if the author prefers one over the other? Or, does the author think both are equal.


2. Let's look at some sample comparison/contrast essays:

Neat People vs. Sloppy People

(Handout - or look on CANVAS under the assignment. The essay is there.)

"Shopping in America"

Along with the middle of your essay which you have placed in chart form, you need an introduction and a conclusion. You also need transitions to help your essay flow.
